Greg Chalmers added: "It is through a river of tears I say goodbye to my friend Jarrod Lyle". "Miss you mate. RIP".

Mark Washington, who was one of the main drivers behind establishing the classic, said Lyle's influence at the club would never be forgotten. So hearing his story, three times (being diagnosed with cancer).

He had a bone marrow transplant previous year but the illness returned and he chose to halt all treatment last week.

"Last year the victor got up and said how proud he was to win the trophy because he had followed Jarrod's journey and that was great". "Hearing his story, three times, I believe those kids deserve a chance at a better life and they need that, so that's why I chose to do that".

"He didn't forget about where he came from".

Fox Sports commentator and former professional, Paul Gow, was a good friend of Lyle's and knew better than most just how special the father-of-two was.

"Lusi, Jemma and I are filled with grief and now must confront our lives without the greatest husband and father we could ever have wished for".

"Thank you for showing us how to go about life and how to treat others".
